(Rte 124) west of Monadnock, beside a large boulder a few feet south of the road. In the night, one of the soldiers, whose name is unknown died and was buried beside the boulder, giving it its name, "Soldiers Rock" by which is still known today. More information on soldiers rock can be be found in the "History of Jaffrey, Volume I "by Albert Annett and Alice E.E.
